FAQ
Can I make this drink ahead of time?
It's best served fresh, but you can mix the ingredients without ice and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
What kind of vodka works best?
A mid-range vodka works great; premium vodkas offer a smoother taste.
Is there a non-alcoholic version?
Substitute vodka with a flavorful non-alcoholic spirit or simply omit it for a virgin Bloody Mary.
